CKX ( Project N0: TS70285) was built 10th March 1960, painted powder blue, with Blue Vynide trim and white side screens.. as it is still today.
It was delivered to 'SM Co.' a garage I have not been able to identify.

MoTs go back to 1981 and show that at that time the registration number was TR 12 and the milage was 31,490 miles.

Since then it has had two changes of reg number, DBY 667B and now CKX 1B. Both of those do not fit the DVLA criteria and should be on a car of 1964 vintage.

I am the 4th owner of the TR3A, the two previous owners being Thomas Randell of Gerrards Cross who bought it in 1982 (and kept the TR 12 number) and Bruce Ogden of Plymouth who bought it in 2004.

Bruce stripped and re-built the whole car when it was in his ownership. The car has only done 2000 miles since 1981.
Over the winter 2013-14 CKX has undergone some changes. Originality is fine, but original TR3 steering is a known problem so it has been substituted for a steering rack to make steering both lighter and more accurate. At the same time some hidden 'body' faults have been rectified before they progressed too far. Other discrete modernisation has been introduced to make the car more reliable.
